That is *probably* down to draw order.

Dewpending on whethe ryou have your BHATCH dialogue boxc expanded or not, either in the middle collumn, or the right hand-side there's a group of commands labelled as "options." The second of these is a dropdown box called "Draw Order."

In your first circumstance selecting the fourth option in here "Send Behind Boundary" will work, in either of the cases you describe the second, "Send to Back" will force the hatching to be behind any geometry allowing those object to remain visible. Liberal application of the REGEN and REGENALL commands can sometimes be necessary to make it apparent that these have worked!!

Thank you very much; I was not aware of BHATCH dialogue box options.
I was able to fix my problem by using a generic draw order command that is found in the properties dialog box, will now check out the BHATCH dialogue box.
Appreciate your help...
